The heat wave I mentioned earlier hit you like a wall and your body reacted immediately. Invisible hands touched your body as if you were wearing nothing. You took a deep breath and try to calm your raging hormones as you walk to the building for your very first interview.
You look behind you as you catch a lycan werewolf's scent, but no one is there. You walk faster, regretting wearing the high heels. Actually, you regret being outside in the first place, as you can smell several lycans. You reached the building where your interview is and struggle with the glass door as you are in a hurry to get inside, where you think you would be safe.The doorman looks at you strangely. Probably wondering what was wrong with you since the heatwave has no effect on him since he is nothing more than a human. He pushed down the crossbar and open the door for you.“Thank you,” you say out of breath, and not a moment too soon the lycans you smelled catch up with you."Don't let them in!" you say in a panicked state.The doorman looks at the pair of rough-looking men and locks the door. “Should I call the police? Are you in some trouble?”“I'm here for an interview,” you tell him, turning your back on the lycans, who look like they are ready to have you right here and now. They are not rogues. You recognize them all. You grew up with some of them. You used to be best friends with one of them, but that all changed after you shifted for the first time. Truth is, your body wants them to take you right now, but you deny yourself in the name of being a virgin for your fateful partner, who was most likely bedding someone else right this moment."Are you OK?" the woman doing the calling snaps her fingers in front of you.You shot your eyes up at her, your pupils are dilated."It's your turn," she says with a frown and walks back to the office.Take it from me; run the other way if you want to stay a virgin.Of course, you're not going to listen to me. Of course, you got up and walked to the office where there is a lycan, that hope that the lycan he smells every time the door opens would have the common sense to leave.You introduce yourself to him and his assistant, who is a human. You don't dare shake his hand, not that it matters because he didn't offer it to you. At least one of you has the common sense to know what is good for yourself.You see him shift uncomfortably in his chair."Do you need a glass of water, sir?" asks the assistant, looking concerned at his behavior.“Yes, please,” he chokes out, his eyes as wide as yours."Actually, no," he change his mind, realizing the moment she left the office, the two of you would tear your clothes off.His assistant look confused, halfway out of her chair, her eyes still on him.“I'll get you a glass of water,” she declares and leaves the office, ignoring his request for her not to leave.You swallow and move your chair further away. "I didn't get your name."It was because he didn’t introduce himself yet, silly.“Horny. I mean Henry. Henry Bass,” he chokes. Under normal circumstances, you would have laughed, but these are not normal circumstances, not at all."Shall we begin?" he asks, his voice hoarse. He reaches out to take his assistant's clipboard and a pen to take notes and the movement sends his delicious scent your way. Not a moment later, your tailored jacket is on the floor. You flung yourself against his body as your lips locked in a passionate and desperate kiss. Everything happens so fast.The scattering sound of broken glass and a splash of water made him pull away from you where he already had you on his desk with your skirt around your waist.You jump off his desk and ran to the door, pulling off your tailored pencil skirt. You don't even give the assistant a second look.You hear him jump over the table as a scream escapes his assistant. You know he is coming for you and won't stop until he haves you several times. He is locked on you like a hound dog and there is no escape. Even though you are running away from him, you want him. Your body wants him. Your wet virgin pussy wants him.You shot toward the front doors of the building and stop when your eyes met the lycans that almost had you earlier.Stop denying yourself, you foolish virgin. Let them have you already. I promise you will enjoy it. Who even says you have a fated mate out there?You looked behind you. Henry Bass is approaching fast. You look around you. 'Where to?' you wonder"The stairs!" Henry shouts, clearly against mother nature as well.You dart for the door that has a picture of stairs on it. The stairs go up. You don't know where they will take you, but you run up them, two to three at a time. You hear the door slam open, but you don't stop. The stairs go up in block formation and before long, out a breath, you slam open a door. The heat crash against your already warm skin. The sun hit your eyes and blinds you for a moment.You shut the door behind you and turn the handle to lock it. You hear Henry's body slam against it. You stand with your back against the door and slide down until your rear met the ground. Henry is panting on the other side, and you can hear him breathe. Hot tears of frustration run down your face as you listen to Henry jerk off. You got up to open the door. Your body wants Henry to take you hard and carelessly.You rattle the handle, but Henry locked the door from the other side. “Open the door,” you tell him."No," you hear him gasp."Thank goodness!" you hear him say with the sound of heels on the stairs.“I'm here, honey,” says a woman's voice. You listen all day to them having sex on the other side of the door, torturing your body. You help yourself a few times, but it isn’t enough. Slowly, you feel the heat wave go away as the sun settled. You don't realize that Henry and his human woman have left the building.“Henry?” you call out, but get no answer.Yep, they left you. Just when you thought you were going to sleep on a roof overnight and pray that the heat wave doesn’t come back, the door opens."Dave!" you exclaim, happy to see him.“I'm so sorry I chased after you this morning. This bloody heat wave,” he complains, holding out his hand to you, to help you up.You and Dave were always best friends, as I mentioned earlier.“Thanks for coming to my aid,” you giggle nervously as you str
You are about to take a bath when you feel an urgent mind link. You can try to ignore it, but that will only result in a headache. There are only a few that can force themselves into your mind. Your Alpha and Luna, of course; your fated partner and a lycan with royal blood. You open your mind to receive the mind link and it turns out to be none other than Alpha Chase. “All of us must meet at the castle. The new so-called king called a meeting. Those who do not attend will be executed.' Your mother burst into your room. "This is bad! How can he call a meeting during a heat wave?!" “Mom, relax. I’m sure it’s over for now,” you try to calm her down. “You need to bathe and be quick about it,” she urges, walking into your bathroom to get the water ready. “There's no time,” you say, grabbing your favorite jacket, remembering that you'd left your tailored jacket in Henry's office. “You smell like sex. You smell like a rogue. If you show up smelling like you do… who knows what will happe
He catches a familiar scent on you, that of his king. He looks around in the dark and then back at you. “Have you no respect for your new king? Do you dare show up smelling like you do? Dressed like you are?” "I'm not dressed," you respond sarcastically, making everyone turn their heads toward the darkness as a chuckle comes from that direction. 'Did the king just laugh at my joke,' you think, wondering if he would kill you if he knew you are his fated mate. You felt your body react just at the thought of him inside you again. “Everyone must leave Alpha Chase and join me as your Alpha King,” comes the voice from the darkness. 'Don’t. This is another trick. If the two of us join him, he'll know immediately who we are,' your mother warns. 'What about dad?' You mind link her. 'He is not your biological father. Do you know your favorite bedtime story when you were a child?’ your mother mind link. ‘The previous king was my father?’ you ask, losing your complexion. “This one looks si
You wake up and take in your surroundings, wondering where you are. You touch your head and rub your forehead as if it would ease the headache you are experiencing. You don't recognize your surroundings.‘Where the hell am I?’ you wonder. "I have fated!" you say out loud to yourself, wondering for a moment if it was all just a horrible dream. You touch your collarbone and feel the scar your fated mate had left you.'Something's not right,' you think to yourself and get out of bed and walk over to the vanity mirror. You frown at the scar on your collarbone. “How has it been healed?” you examine it. The scar looks more like an old scar than one from the night before. With a frown on your face, you walk over to the door and find it locked."Hello?" you exclaim, slamming the door. After getting no response, you walk over to the curtains and pull them open. You are greeted with bright morning light and a door that led to a balcony.You find the door open and walk onto the balcony, not reco
The omega leaves you at the entrance of the sunroom and you notice king Makens and his family having breakfast. Around their table, you notice an open seat. You take a deep breath and proceed toward the royal table. ‘I thought the royal brothers all had red hair,’ you think to yourself, trying to justify not knowing what king Makens looked like. If you were not already fated, you would have found him extremely attractive, looking your age. His blond hair and piercing blue eyes are not enough to separate his looks from his brothers. They all had ginger hair and blue eyes except king Makens. You heard the stories that he take after his father and the rest of them after their mother that had red hair. “Good morning,” you greeted and took the vacant chair at the table. “Thank you for joining us,” King Makens said after everyone greeted her. The omega that left you at the door arrives at the table with a setting, followed by a tail of servers, holding dishes of food for you to select. Y
Dressed in a hoody and matching pants looking like you are going for a jog you sneak out of the room. You walk through the hallway trying your best to not draw attention to yourself, wondering if they forgot to place a spell on your room to prevent you from leaving. You catch the familiar scents of the lycan royals and turn around, taking a turn here and another, followed by another, and before you know it, you are lost. Or are you? You realise that you are in the vampire wing of the castle, the thick scent of the walking dead in the air. “Lost?” a voice started you. “What makes you think that?” you asked, putting on a brave face, but your shaky voice gives you away. “The fact that you are a lycan werewolf,” the vampire said with a smile on his face. “I, I- I am seeking advice from the vampire king,” you fall over your words as a plan forms in your mind. “Why not get your advice from the lycan king?” the vampire tease. “Stop toying with her,” you hear another voice that sends the
The time could not go by any slower, but finally, the hour came, and you eagerly wait for the vampire that the vampire king said will come for you. With every minute going by, you become more restless. ‘The sun has been down for almost an hour. Where the hell is the vampire?’ you ask and walked over to your patio, undressing. You just decided that you will take matters into your own hands and made your way over to the patio, undressing. You leaped off the patio and try to shift before you land on the ground with a thumb, hurting yourself. You cry in pain, unable to move.“You lycans have no patience,” the vampire scolded you, standing over you, looking down at you.You look at him, anger and pain on your face.“Drink from me, but don’t drink too much. I need all the energy I have for the trip,” he says, not sounding too happy about it, rolling up his sleeve.“No,” you say looking at him, refusing to drink from him. “Give me your shirt.”Seriously? You were naked in front of your fated
“Release them,” you try out your so-called royal authority and for a moment it seems to be working.“They are not prisoners,” the guard says and opens the gate that is not locked.“We are just waiting here. The rogue king has been kind to us for some reason,” Amore says.The guard comes to his senses and grabs you around your neck.“Let go of me,” you demand with force, and he lets go of you.“You guys have to get out of here. I don’t know what the rogue’s plan is but it can’t be good,” you say as the guard grabs you again and before you could get another word out, he squeezed the air from you, making you faint.When you came to it, your siblings were gone and so was the guard. You stood up and rattle the bars of the cell, finding yourself locked up. “Crap.”“Fancy seeing you here,” Davide’s voice rings in your ears.“What did you do with them?” you spat, holding onto the bars.“Nothing. For some reason they killed the guard and ran off,” Davide says not sounding to care much.“Where
You were about to leave the hall, your mind swirling with what had just transpired, when the heavy doors suddenly swung open. The sound of boots hitting the stone floor echoed as Elle was dragged in, her body fighting the handlers every step of the way. Her arms flailed, her legs kicking out in a desperate attempt to break free. You could hear her sharp breaths and the sounds of her struggles, the chaos of her fury cutting through the tension in the room."Let her go!" you demanded, your voice carrying the authority only royalty can wield. The handlers hesitated, caught off guard by the power in your tone. Against their will, they released Elle, stepping back reluctantly as she stood, now free to stand on her own two feet.Elle glared at them but didn’t hesitate. Her expression was a mixture of defiance and fury, and without a word, she stomped directly toward the Lycan King. Her steps were firm, unwavering, as she faced the man who held her fate in his hands.You joined her at her si
You stand up, the urgency of your thoughts pushing you into motion. The weight of the decision, the need to be sure Elle is safe, weighs heavily on your chest. "We can leave after Elle returns," you say, your voice steady but the worry still evident in your eyes. "I need to be sure she’s going to be okay."You move toward the door, your hand resting on the handle as you prepare to face whatever awaits you outside. You’re going to plead with the Lycan King, no matter how dangerous it may be. Elle deserves a chance, deserves to have her fate in her own hands. You won’t let the world crush her under the weight of its expectations."Where are you going?" Davide’s voice stops you mid-step, his tone laced with curiosity and something else—amusement?You turn to face him, meeting his gaze with determination. "I’m going to go plead with the Lycan King to pardon Elle’s behaviour. He must realise that she wouldn’t have run away if it wasn’t for the stupid Vampire King."At the mention of Michae
You sit on the edge of your bed, your gaze distant, staring at the stone wall as though it might offer some comfort or answer. The weight of your thoughts presses down on you—thoughts of Elle, of her safety, of her fate. You hope she’s somewhere far from this madness, that she’s found a way to escape this life that’s been thrust upon her, a life you know all too well. You wish she could be free, free from the chains of royalty, from the expectations, from the constant battles for power.But deep down, you know the truth—she can’t escape it. Not without risking everything. Not without drawing the attention of forces that would crush her.And yet, you cling to that hope, that small spark of possibility that she might find a way out. You want so badly for her to live a life outside of this world of lies, manipulation, and bloodshed. But that wish, that dream, feels selfish. You don’t know if you’d survive it if something happened to her. The thought gnaws at your insides, making it harde
Elle’s steps faltered as she turned toward the hallway, her mind set on finding a way out, a way to fight back. But before she could take another step, a firm grip seized her arm, pulling her back with a force that nearly sent her crashing to the ground.Her breath caught in her throat as she spun around to face Jude’s father, his face twisted with a mixture of regret and resolve. “You can’t leave, Elle,” he said, his voice low and controlled, but there was an underlying urgency to his words.“What the hell are you doing?” Elle snarled, struggling against his hold. Her pulse raced, her mind spinning as her fury grew. “Let me go. I’m not staying here. I’m not waiting for the Higher Council to come and take me!”Jude’s father’s grip tightened. “You don’t understand. If you leave now, they’ll find you. They’ll use you against us. We can’t let that happen. I’m doing this to protect you... and us.”Elle’s heart skipped a beat as he pulled her toward the back of the house, away from the fro
Her sharp eyes scanned the trees beyond the cove, searching for the source of her unease. The scent of something foreign lingered in the salty air—something predatory.Jude’s smile faltered. "Elle, what’s wrong?"Before she could answer, a shadow moved.A figure emerged from the tree line—a man, tall and unnervingly still. His golden eyes gleamed with eerie intent, his presence radiating a silent threat. A hybrid.Elle’s breath caught in her throat.The assassin had found them.Jude noticed the change in her expression and turned, following her gaze. The moment he locked eyes with the intruder, realization struck. "Run," he whispered.But it was already too late.The hybrid tracker lunged, moving with inhuman speed.Elle reacted on instinct, shoving Jude back as she braced herself for the fight of her life.The battle was brutal. Elle and Jude fought together, but even with their combined strength, they were no match for the hybrid. He was faster, stronger, and relentless. Every blow
The shadows stretched long across the floor of Michael’s chamber, the heavy silence punctuated only by the sound of his own steady breathing. His hands curled into fists as he moved toward the far side of the room, where an ornate wooden wardrobe stood against the stone wall. He had known this room well before it was his—it had belonged to his brother, and his brother had been cunning, always keeping a way out, a path unseen.Michael placed his palm against the side of the wardrobe, feeling for the hidden seam. With a slight push, the back panel groaned, revealing a narrow passageway that led into the dark. He took a step forward—but stopped. Something unseen and unfathomable coiled around his body, anchoring him in place. His fangs bared instinctively, his power rising to meet the force that held him back.A spell.His mind worked quickly, fingers tracing over the air as he called on his own magic, whispering an incantation under his breath to dismantle whatever bound him. But it was
The soft morning light filtered in through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. You slowly blinked your eyes open, the fog of sleep still lingering in your mind. As your vision cleared, you saw him—Davide—sitting by your bedside, his eyes fixed on you with a tenderness that made your heart race. You couldn’t help but notice the subtle tension in his gaze, the uncertainty that lingered there."Do you hate me yet?" Davide’s voice was quiet, almost pleading, as if he were bracing for your response.For a long moment, you just stared at him, the weight of the years, of everything that had happened, pressing heavily on your chest. You felt a storm of emotions swirling inside you—anger, betrayal, and, beneath it all, an aching sense of longing."I hate and love you at the same time," you finally replied, your voice barely above a whisper. The words felt heavy as they left your lips, a truth you had buried deep for so long. You remembered the woman you once were, desperate for hi
Kurt followed Wynn down the winding corridors of the palace, his footsteps heavy with the weight of the decision ahead. The Lycan King's command had been clear, and now it was time for the next step. They arrived at the chambers of the shaman, where the ancient being was waiting, his eyes clouded with the knowledge of his craft.The shaman nodded to Kurt and Wynn, gesturing for them to enter. The room was dimly lit by flickering candles, and the scent of herbs and incense hung in the air. The shaman motioned for Kurt to sit in the center of a ritual circle, marked with glowing symbols and runes.As Wynn stood nearby, observing the ritual, the shaman began his chant, speaking in an ancient tongue that reverberated through the room. Kurt closed his eyes, focusing on the weight of the spell being placed over him, an invisible force that began to settle over his body. The power of the fated mate bond was strong, a magic that ran deep into his veins, connecting him to Elle whether he was r
The atmosphere in the castle shifted as the sound of the large doors opening echoed through the hallway. Elle, still reeling from the conversation with her mother, straightened her posture as she caught sight of the four young men entering the room. Despite their age—well over 300 years—they looked no older than their early twenties, a characteristic of their kind. Each one of them exuded an undeniable power, their presence filling the space as they moved with a grace that seemed almost unnatural, yet elegant.Their eyes—blue, like the clearest sky—sparkled with a quiet intensity that hinted at the centuries of experience and authority behind them. They were tall, their frames long and lean, but their bodies were hardened by years of battle and leadership. Despite their beauty, there was an air of danger surrounding them, a promise of strength and command. They were not the kind of men you could ignore or easily dismiss.Vance took a step forward, his gaze fixing on Elle with a knowin
